- Although Pedro's family was in decline, his father still left him several servants after his death.
It¡¯s just a pity that the only one of these servants who followed him was this little guy with freckles named Otto.
The other servants had already dispersed to find a way to survive.
Of course, Pedro doesn¡¯t blame them.
Because his family¡¯s land was taken away by those ruffians from Spain, now he has no money at all except a noble title.
Now it is difficult for him to support himself, let alone those servants.
Therefore, it was the right choice for them to leave him, and he did not blame these people.
If possible, Pedro even hopes that this little guy Otto will leave him and find a job with a good family.
Because if you follow your own words, you will only suffer.
But the little guy has been with Pedro since he was a child and has a very deep relationship.
So, no matter what Pedro said, Otto never wanted to leave him.
In the end, there was no other way, and Pedro had no choice but to depend on the little guy for life.
¡°The village they live in is basically full of ¡®bankrupts¡¯.
Actually, it is not entirely correct to say that they are bankrupts, because before they were deprived of their land, they were farmers with apprentices.
It was only when their land was taken away by the Spaniards that they became 'bankrupt' and became tenants of the evil-hearted Spaniards.
After all, people always have to survive, right?
Pedro, who woke up from his sleep, finally woke up with the help of little Otto.
"My Majesty has exposed your butt, why are you still sleeping? Don't forget, you are a noble."
Zhao Hongyu said with a smile as he looked at Pedro who was leaning against the gate and breathing heavily.
¡°You damn noble, apart from a title, what else do I look like a noble?¡± Pedro rolled his eyes and responded to Zhao Hongyu in a very self-deprecating manner.
"Master, please don't talk to His Highness like this. You are a noble." However, little Alto, who had freckles on his face, seriously reminded Pedro to pay attention to his words and deeds. "The glory of the Pedro family still needs you to restore it."
Pedro curled his lips, very disapproving.
He doesn¡¯t think he can bring the Pedro family back to life again, because the Spaniards won¡¯t let him do that.
Why was Pedro's family suppressed by the Spanish in the first place? It was because his grandfather and father were both staunch opponents of Spanish rule.
For such a family, the Spaniards will only let him reappear if they have lost their minds.
You know, in order to suppress the Pedro family, the Spaniards secretly used many methods.
Bribery, assassination, and a series of unknown methods finally silenced the Pedro family.
And although Pedro himself is very young, he is also hostile to the Spaniards.
It is definitely very difficult for a person like him to bring the family back to the top.
The Spaniards would not let a Portuguese nobleman who was hostile to them stand up again.
"Young Master, make good contact with the Crown Prince of America. I think it will be very helpful in restoring the glory of the family in the future."
Little Otto, standing behind Pedro, reminded his young master in a low voice.
Pedro shook his head and didn¡¯t even listen to Otto¡¯s words.
¡°Alas, Otto sighed secretly in his heart.
He was worried about his young master, because now his young master seemed to have no ambition.
Pedro rubbed his face to wake himself up.
Then he walked up to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s mount and reached out to pull the reins.
"Then Your Highness, do you still need me to serve you today? As long as I can eat three meals a day, you can see that my requirements are not high at all."
When Zhao Hongyu first came into contact with Pedro, he thought he was a hunter.
So he hired him to lead the way and act as a guide.
Therefore, every time he comes into contact with Zhao Hongyu in the future, Pedro will lower his profile and ask Zhao Hongyu to hire him.
It can be seen that Pedro no longer regards himself as a noble.
He is just like those ordinary people.Hope to find a job to support my family.
As for restoring family glory, those things are too far away in Pedro's opinion.
¡°I don¡¯t want to hunt today, I want to talk to you about something.¡±
Zhao Hongyu shook his head, got off his horse and walked up to Pedro, looked at him seriously and said.
"Oh, Your Highness. Do you want me to tell you that you have taken a fancy to the girl sleeping in the village?" Pedro immediately showed an exaggerated look and acted very 'shocked' expression.
But Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t take it seriously, because this guy¡¯s expression was too artificial and fake.
"Are there any beauties in this village? Do you think she can be more beautiful than my two wives?"
Zhao Hongyu curled his lips and said.
Pedro rolled his eyes and said: "Perhaps Your Highness thinks that the wild flowers in the countryside are better than the tulips in your own home. Who knows, the taste of a person of your status is not what country people like us can." You guessed it.¡±
Faced with Pedro¡¯s teasing, Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t take it seriously.
He knew Pedro, but he couldn't stand the behavior of some nobles.
At first, his father and grandfather were outliers among the nobility.
They abide by the ancient aristocratic precepts and the clear rules of the church to conduct themselves.
These make others think that they are old-fashioned and difficult to deal with.
Pedro also inherited this gene from his grandfather and father, and he himself is like this.
Precisely because he knows this, Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t care about Pedro¡¯s teasing.
"Wang Shan, please take out all the food we have prepared."
Zhao Hongyu turned around and shouted to Wang Shan.
? Then he said to Pedro: "Come with me for a while, I want to talk to you about serious things."
Although he didn¡¯t know what Zhao Hongyu wanted to talk about with him, Pedro still put away his careless look and followed Zhao Hongyu towards the nearby hillside.
When he saw his young master and Zhao Hongyu walking aside, little Otto wanted to follow them.
But he was stopped by Wang Shan.
"Little guy, please don't go there. Our Highness and your young master have serious matters to discuss. If the talks are settled, your young master's restoration of the glory of the Pedro family will probably not be a fantasy."
Hearing this, the little guy widened his eyes and looked at the smiling Wang Shan in shock.
"Your Highness, do you want to help Master Pedro?"
For Otto, this is all he can think of with his little mind.
Wang Shan continued to look at Otto with a smile and said: "Only in this world can you succeed by yourself. Our Highness just wants to give Pedro a chance. As for whether your young master can seize this opportunity, that depends on him. On his own.¡±
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ It is still a little too difficult for a ten-year-old to understand these meanings.
"Your Highness, if you have any questions, just tell me directly. Don't be so secretive. I, Pedro, am useless now, and I have nothing to deserve your treatment."
Pedro and Zhao Hongyu came to the hillside and sat on the ground respectively.
Pedro spoke to Zhao Hongyu first.
Judging from what Zhao Hongyu said to him today when he came to see him, Pedro felt that what the crown prince of America must say was related to him.
¡°But what Pedro doesn¡¯t understand is, what does he have that is worthy of the attention of His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Americas?
¡°My family is now in dire straits, and I have nothing but a title.
¡°And he doesn¡¯t know how to farm or other skills, so he is a complete waste.
Zhao Hongyu stared at the small village at the foot of the hillside, then moved his gaze to a small castle not far from the village.
¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, that castle should have originally belonged to the Pedro family, that is, yours.¡±
Facing Zhao Hongyu¡¯s question, Pedro said: ¡°I think His Highness should have inquired about it in Lisbon. Wouldn¡¯t it be unnecessary to ask me now?¡±
Pedro didn¡¯t know what Zhao Hongyu was going to do, so he was very cautious.
"Yes, I asked about you in Lisbon. The castle and the nearby fields should actually all belong to you. And you should also be a well-clothed and well-fed aristocratic young man, not living in the countryside."??Wild boy. "
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t pay much attention to Pedro¡¯s reaction and continued to say what he wanted to say.
"The person who took away your family's property is a Spaniard named Casillas. This man was originally a gangster in Madrid, but now he has turned into a big landowner. And your Pedro family's original property , half of them became this guy¡¯s.¡±
"What exactly do you want to say? Your Highness." Zhao Hongyu was interrupted by Pedro, and his expression slowly became gloomy. "If Your Highness wanted to laugh at me, then I think you got your wish. I don't think you told me so much because you wanted to help me recall my family history."
Speaking of which, what Zhao Hongyu said is the most heartbreaking thing for the Pedro family. It's no wonder that Pedro doesn't give Zhao Hongyu a good look. This is simply exposing a scar.
"No, I just want to ask you, do you still remember this? Do you still have hatred and revenge in your heart?" Zhao Hongyu turned his head seriously and looked at Pedro and said. "And I believe that the other party also wishes you could die immediately, because you are a very dangerous person to the man named Casillas." (To be continued.
